Markets still way below where they were (and I'd rather have more money in safe locations right now...not under the mattress )Oops!
I think you would also need to consider that many obese 50 plus year olds may well have some level of undiagnosed heart disease, which may not necessarily be recorded as 'underlying illness' but which may affect their ability to recover.Yes, figures quoted on BBC suggested that 70% of those who “progressed” to ventilator were clinically obese.

....Don't see that as cause for optimism, personally.
The points I was trying to make were:
- originally saying he didn't really need to be in ICU, but had subsequently improved considerably for two days running isn't consistent with remaining in ICU
- this is of a piece with the updates since he fell ill, which have been overly optimistic throughout, and thereby destroy much needed trust in HMG
But TBH I don't really want to debate his health and now regret bringing it up at all, so I'll be silent on the subject from here on.

Is there any risk of transfer onto the bike handlebars? Might be worthwhile wiping them with alcohol wipes. Just a thoughtBeen practicing our infection control drill today.
Nat has started work at the Nightingale as a porter/cleaner. No patients in yet.
He cycles in his own clothes and changes into a uniform at work. Not having any experience of how this works, I was surprised that he brings his uniform home. He is putting it inside 2 plastic bags in his rucksack and tipping it straight into the washing machine by itself as soon as he gets home. Plastic bags straight into wheely bin. He strips off by the back door and his own clothes stay outside and then go in the washing machine when his uniform is done.
Straight upstairs without touching anything and straight into the shower.
Anybody with more experience than me think of any additional measures we could be doing?
